There may be a delay on this, but eventually, the Green Bay Packers' potential reason for trading Romeo Doubs would be the same that everyone saw in the offseason.
There are just a lot of receivers on that roster.
A few are hurt right now, with Christian Watson and Jayden Reed on the shelf, so Green Bay likely won't rush into anything.

But if those guys come back in time to join a WR group that also has Matthew Golden, Dontayvion Wicks and Malik Heath (in addition to Doubs), something's gotta give.
ESPN's Dan Graziano wrote Friday that Doubs is still the logical guy to go.
"An interesting one here because the Packers don't seem to be a team that has to worry about falling out of contention. What they might have to worry about is having too many wide receivers," Graziano writes. "Right now, with Christian Watson and Jayden Reed out because of injuries, it's not an issue. But when and if those guys get back, it could be tough to find opportunities for everybody, considering they have Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks and first-round rookie Matthew Golden also in the mix. This room is crowded enough that former wide receiver Bo Melton switched to cornerback this offseason just to make the team. Doubs is a name that came up in trade discussions during the offseason and certainly could again once the Packers are whole and teams come looking for help at the position. Green Bay could stand to recoup some draft capital after the Micah Parsons trade, and Doubs is making a very reasonable $3.406 million on the final year of his contract. He has clipped 600 receiving yards in each of his past two seasons, and he has 96 yards and a touchdown through two games in 2025."

The team that Doubs would conceptually end up with is likely to be determined. It's hard to know the health and needs of each WR corps a month-and-a-half away at the Nov. 4 trade deadline.
But don't be surprised if Doubs moves somewhere.
